South Carolina Defeats Powerful North Carolina 1-0

Sunday, September 02, 2007

Think Appalachian State was the only team in the Carolinas to pull off a stunning upset Saturday? Just look at the South Carolina women's soccer team, which handed powerful North Carolina - the No. 1 ranked, defending NCAA champions - its first loss in a home opener in the 29 years of the program. The 1-0 victory may not have the impact of the Mountaineers 34-32 win at mighty Michigan on Saturday, but in women's soccer circles it rarely gets bigger than beating the Tar Heels. (WRAL.com)
